OBJECTIVES: <br>
Throughout the ten weeks, the students interact with leaders in
the<br>
Congress and the Administration, industry, and prominent<br>
non-governmental organizations. Meetings with congressional<br>
Committees, executive office departments, and corporate government<br>
affairs offices are daily activities. In addition, each
student<br>
researches and presents a paper on a topical engineering-related<br>
public policy issue that is important to the sponsoring society.
The<br>
students work under the guidance of a prominent engineering
professor<br>
who serves as Faculty-Member-in-Residence. Students also
interact<br>
with and are mentored by representatives of their sponsoring<br>
societies. <br><br>
<br>
ELIGIBILITY<br>
Eligible applicants must be juniors, seniors, or entering
their<br>
final year of undergraduate studies in engineering (or computer<br>
science). The sponsor will also accept applications from
engineering<br>
graduates who are beginning Masters level study in a policy-related<br>
degree. Interns must be citizens or legal permananent residents
of<br>
the United States. In addition, ASCE, ANS, ASME, IEEE and SAE
will<br>
only sponsor students who are members of their societies. IEEE
will<br>
sponsor computer science majors, as well as engineering majors, as<br>
long as they are IEEE student members. <br><br>
<br>
FUNDING<br>
In addition to the stipend, the sponsor pays for housing at
George<br>
Washington University, as well as providing fare cards for use of
the<br>
Washington Metro system. The sponsor anticipates sponsoring
eight<br>
students. (jap) <br><br>
